recent repost problem: solved & conclusion
the recent case that destroyed my last remaining good-feels for tumblr and fandoms, is finally closed.
as often, the story goes like this:
the repost-blog owner looked at the edits, *oh how shiny HQ stuff*, but of course was unable OR unwilling to see that all (3) have the same kind of text/signature/whatever on them. result: *letās (re)upload the stuff from google image search result page and care about problems later*
sure 30+ minutes of my life were wasted for reporting/solving this case via several messages, and of course the repost received 300 notes while my original shit is rotting away at 22 or 23 notes. of course nobody in the respective fandom helped to spread my reblog-VS-repost info message or cares to spread my original post (now/1 year after uploading it).
best thing: in the apology message of respective repost-blog owner i had to take a punch between the lines, in form of ā[my stuff] is [just] slightly editedā. that is not only rude as hell (coming from the thief) but also wrong depending on the source materialās quality, which can cause editing process duration between 10 minutes up to 2+ hours.
in other words: editing is a process but also a way of (personal) life and expression of feelings. some edit as process/work is 10 minutes, another might be 2 hours. each edit contains same amount/quality of FEELS from the editor.
STEALING A DAMN EDIT (WILLINGLY OR BY ACCIDENT) MIGHT BE A SMALL PUNCH AGAINST THE WORK/PROCESS TIME OF AN EDITOR BUT IT HAS SAME BAD IMPACT ON THE EDITORāS EMOTION (+ ruins the chance to gain notes on my/the original upload)! the reason why people steal and repost an edit is bc itās good, and not bc the repost-blog considers the amount of time that was put into it (in this logical argumentation it would mean a short amount of editing time).
if you ever want to learn stg from fandom, then itās this:
choose wisely IF you want to work (for free) for fandom communities bc itās like in real life, there are good and bad moments and friendly and rude people or simply too many who donāt care much about details, some rules or friendly behaviour.
Sherlock says: IF YOUR UPLOADS ARE HQ/GOOD, THEY WILL BE STOLEN AND YOU EITHER HANDLE THAT OR FIND OTHER WAY TO CONTRIBUTE TO FANDOM-LIFE (ON TUMBLR). MOST CASES CAN BE SOLVED SO NEVER GIVE UP! (i wante to leave tumblr twice in my 4 years here, but rather decided to stay and reduce activity or i stopped to support some fandom...)
